The time and money spent on the Magic Weekend should be spent on an area like Cumbria ... expecting so many people to travel such a long way for just another league game, which is televised anyway, isn't realistic. A lot of players aren't too fussed with it. ""In Wales, there were so few locals there - it was just the usual fans from the north of England.

I disagree. I can't wait to go up there.
Graham comparing the local turnout in Cardiff is a little disingenuous when you consider that's why the RFL moved it and if reports are to be believed, the SRU have done a lot better in sales to the Scottish.
Another point is that a large group of us are travelling up, many of whom have never watched RL before - I'm sure they'll enjoy it and may come back for more. These weekends offer a tremendous opportunity to get new fans involved in the game and if the nay-saying northerners stay away on principle then great - the new fans will enjoy the weekend all the more for not having someone slating it next to them.
Oh and if Graham wants (at least) 2 fixtures dropping I'm sure him and his mates wouldn't mind taking a pay cut. . . . . |

"James Graham on a bit of a downer, after losing a game they should never have" shock.
I'm sure his club, fans and team mates will be delighted with him, knowing he can't be d against Wigan this weekend.

Probably doesn't fancy being mistaken for one of the many who'll be walking round with the Jock Ginger Wigs on?

I enjoy the concept of the weekend but I think it would be far better to have it on the first weekend, start the season with a bang. There has been no real fanfare to mark the start of the season in the last few years, in fact it's been terrible with round 4 games before round one games, nonsense. I'm not sure what the ticket sales are for the weekend this year but more fans would be willing to make the trip after being starved of rugby for a few months IMO.

What a great idea.
It 'book ends' the season in terms of "Great RL Weekends Away" with Magic at the start and the CC at the end. Crowds will turn up for it having had nothing to watch all winter. |

Not a great idea for me. Bank holiday weekend means that people have the opportunity to make a good trip of it plus having it in May means that it should at least be slightly warm. I wouldn't fancy sitting out in February for 3 or 4 matches.
